Falcons sign LB Brian Asamoah

The Atlanta Falcons have added veteran linebacker Brian Asamoah II to bolster their special teams units following a sluggish start to the 2026 season. The former third-round draft pick previously played for the Minnesota Vikings and Cincinnati Bengals, accumulating hundreds of snaps in coverage and blocking roles over recent years.

While Atlanta already boasts strong linebacker depth with players like Divine Deablo, Harold Perkins Jr., and Josh Woods, Asamoah is expected to contribute primarily in the kicking game. The franchise hopes his experience will clean up early coverage issues and assist returners Brian Robinson and Zachariah Branch.
